Male Double Chin Removal

What is different about removal of double chin in men?

Because male skin is thicker and heavier, older men with significant double chin often need a neck lift. Milder degrees of double chin in younger men can be adequately treated with laser liposuction. Because of the increased thickness of skin dermis and elastin, male neck elasticity is stronger than in women, thus laser liposuction can produce dramatic skin tightening when treating the male double chin.

How do you remove a double chin in men?

Double chin removal in most men is accomplished with laser liposuction. This requires a tiny entrance point well hidden beneath the chin and the benefit of the laser is that in addition to fat removal it provides skin tightening. The new laser liposuction technique is a significant advance in the treatment of male double chin. Older liposuction techniques with larger cannulas could not be used on the chin and neck. The tiny instrumentation that is used with laser liposuction makes it an ideal application for the neck.

Why do men choose to have double chin removal?

What is recovery like after double chin removal in men?

Recovery can take 10 days to 2 weeks for bruising to go away. You will have to wear a compression chin garment for the first week which for many patients is a nuisance. However the compression garment helps tighten the skin and prevent the accumulation of fluid under the neck skin. It is very important part of your postoperative recovery.

How will I look after male double chin removal?

Skin tightening continues for up to 6 months.
